Wilfried Bony scored for the second consecutive week and the Swans climbed out of the basement with the win over West Brom.

Perhaps there's something magical in the Welsh water that brings out the best in Bony. After years in the wilderness following his big money move t o Manchester City, Bony seems to be rounding back into form. The Swans will still need more from him as they are still lacking potent scoring and creating options. Dec 9 - 12:13 PM

Swansea managed to avoid losing for the fifth time in succession at home to Bournemouth on Saturday but couldn't find a winning goal.

Wilfried Bony successfully put the ball in the net for the hosts in the first half but his effort was ruled out controversially for an infringement and substitute Leroy Fer should have done a lot better with a fantastic opportunity in the dying embers of the game. The Dutchman's miss may be amongst the worst by the end of the season - he cut in from the left an saw his first shot parried by Begovic only to slice his rebound wide. Bournemouth will be content with 10 points from a possible 12 in their last 4 PL games whilst Swansea needed this victory to ease the pressure on Clement. Josh King looked sprightly all afternoon for the Cherries, creating probably their best chance when Marc Pugh failed to convert fro, his low ball. Nov 25 - 12:17 PM

Swansea City manager Paul Clement lamented the loss of three injured starters ahead of the weekend match with Arsenal.

Wilfried Bony has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, although he is hopeful for Gameweek 11, while Renato Sanches has also been ruled out after suffering a thigh injury. Further, Martin Olsson looks almost certain to miss out on the weekend as he is set for a scan on his hamstring injury, Clement confirmed. "Wilfried is rehabbing. He is clear of the injury now but he needs to get his fitness up and it’s a matter of how long that will take. He will not be available for the weekend, but we will see for the Brighton game. Renato is not available and I also think next weekend will be a push for him, but he is showing signs of improvement." Oct 26 - 2:34 PM

Paul Clement is hoping Wilfried Bony can recover in time for their next game after he was forced off at West Ham because of a hamstring injury.

The Swansea boss opted for a slight change in formation at the London Stadium on Saturday following an encouraging second forty-five [versus Watford] seven days earlier which saw Tammy Abraham paired with Bony in attack with Jordan Ayew just in behind. However, Clement was forced into a reshuffle at halftime when Bony complained of muscular discomfort during the break. "It was an injury concern," Clement said in response to questions regarding Bony’s withdrawal. "I don’t know [if] it was just tightness or something more serious [but] it was his hamstring. Wilfried didn’t feel comfortable when he was stretching. Hopefully it’s nothing too serious." The Swans now have a fortnight to regroup before they face Huddersfield at the Liberty Stadium in a game already being billed as a relegation six-pointer. Oct 1 - 4:35 PM
